CAGUAS

Restaurante Raíces
Criollo Specialities from the 1930s. This charming place in the central city of Caguas features Puerto Rican food as it was cooked and served in the 1930s—similar to its sister operation on Recinto Sur St. in Old San Juan. The staff is dressed in traditional costumes and the menu features daily lunch specials and a wide selection of down-home Puerto Rican dishes, from mofongo and asopaos, to pork chops and rice and beans. Spanish wines are featured, but many clients favor the ice-cold drinks served in tin mugs. Raíces is at H-31 Pino St., Villa Turabo in Caguas and is open Monday to Wednesday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Thursday to Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sundays noon to 9:00 p.m. 787-258-1570
